I just finished reading your blog and I have to comment, it was an outright hoot. Your writing style is so engaging, I felt like I was on a wild goose chase with you. The picture you included were also a hoot, and I’m convinced that you must have a photographic memory because they were so vivid. Keep it up, it’s a real trip!
Really glad you loved it, Erik. Stay tuned more coming your way.
